Amanda is a 42-year-old female diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
She feels that it was only a matter of time before she was
diagnosed because her mother and sisters all have diabetes. Amanda
is 40 pounds overweight and knows that she needs to control her
wight to help with better control of her “sugar”. A friend of hers
suggested using a health app targeted to help those with diabetes.
Amanda is skeptical but know that she has to do something and “end
up on insulin shots”. Amanda’s friend shows her how to download the
free app from the app store on her smartphone. Amanda is excited
that the app can track her glucose levels by syncing with her
glucometer. She can even manually upload the glucose readings if
she wishes. The app will display critical state messages if her
glucose goes above a certain reading. The app uses the same
criteria as the American Diabetes Association for glucose readings.
The app can integrate datga from her fitness tracker; blood
pressure, hemoglobin A1c levels and weight. This gives Amanda a
clear picture of what is going on with her health and she can share
this data with her nurse practitioner during her visits. To her
surprise, Amanda also receives coaching messages from her app that
encourage her to be more active and count the amount of fluid and
vegetable intake for the day. Amanda is excited about the feedback
she is receiving from her app and feels that this makes her
accountable for actions related to her health. After a month of
using the app, Amanda has lost 5 pounds and more active.
